A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.The teacher said it was physically1 impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.Irritated， the teacher reiterated2 that a whale could not swallow a human； it was physically impossible.The little girl said， “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah。”The teacher asked， “What if Jonah went to hell？”The little girl replied， “Then you ask him。”
一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”那个小女孩说约拿（一位西伯来先知）就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办？”那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”
